Sorry, I tagged onto someone else's message before.
D200 uses a CF card, not SD, which raises a question of your friend's
competence. If he rotates the thumb dial while reviewing the image he
can turn off the overexposed highlight indicator. That is a very
basic setting. He should really RTFM or buy a point and shoot.
Without seeing what he means by streaks I have no input. Never had
them with mine. The advice from Nikon seems good to me to localize
the problem. I would try downloading the images with both a reader
and with the cable and see whether there is some difference that can
tie it to either piece of hardware. Maybe with some well exposed images.
